April 2, 2020

While some trees might need to be pruned and trimmed, others might need to be removed entirely.

No matter what the season is, if you have trees on your property, you will have to maintain them as the years pass by. While some trees might need to be pruned and trimmed, others might need to be removed entirely. That is why Harford Tree would like to give you the following signs and symptoms to keep an eye out for to make the right decision for tree removal. If you see any of the following signs, do not hesitate to call Harford Tree to come help out with the tree removal process!

The Obvious Tree
Removal Indications

If a tree is dead or in exceptionally poor condition, then it
might be wise to have it removed. Symptoms and signs of a dead or dying tree
include a lack of foliage and dry, weak branches. If your property’s trees are
irreparable due to past storm damage, it should be removed. While storm damage can
usually be dealt with by pruning smaller
damaged spots, large open wounds to the main trunk could lead to overall tree
failure. When a tree develops a sudden lean, it might have to be removed to
protect the safety of everyone and everything nearby. Leaning trees are
especially dangerous, and tree removal is necessary. Also, when a tree causes
property damage because of its sap, needles, and leaves, it might be wise to
have it completely removed. Sap can do plenty of damage to your car’s paint and
even cause mildew to grow on top of your roof.

Not So Obvious Tree
Removal Indications

Keep in mind that you might not always be able to tell if a tree
on your property needs removal just by peeping at it. Some additional symptoms
might indicate a dangerous tree that requires tree removal. If a tree on your
property is sick or has become infested with pesky insects, you might have to
remove it for the safety of the people and trees nearby. If the main trunk of a
tree is compromised or damaged, then its no longer safe and has to be removed
to prevent property damage, all while ensuring the safety of those nearby.
